Abstract

The present paper proposes a new approach to compensate the inductive voltage drop on the internal inductance of the AC variable reluctance generator with DC excitation (AVARGED) and also to compensate the higher voltage harmonics produced in it. As a result, the output current and the associated output voltage on a resistive load are sinusoidal waves in phase with fundamental harmonic of the electro-motive force and without any higher harmonics.
